Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a remarkable restoration that can breathe new life into a damaged tooth. This tooth-shaped “cap” is carefully placed over a tooth, completely encasing it. The purpose? To restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance.
At Deluxe Dental, we’re proud to offer two methods for creating and placing crowns:
-
1
Traditional Lab-Made Crowns
In this method, we prepare the tooth, take impressions, and send them to a dental laboratory. The lab crafts the crown, which typically takes 2-3 weeks. Once ready, you’ll return for a second appointment to have the crown placed.

Same-Day CEREC Crowns
Thanks to our advanced CEREC machine, we can create and place your crown in a single visit. This technology allows us to design, mill, and fit your crown while you wait, significantly reducing the overall treatment time.
Both methods produce high-quality, durable crowns. The choice between them often depends on your specific needs, schedule, and the dentist’s recommendation. With either option, you’ll leave our office with a restored tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like natural.
